Is Sue now standing on the biomass and it is not hurting him? "Sue is that biomass ok to stand on?"

Sue has climbed onto the 5' high biomass. So far he does not appear to have been hurt by standing on it. He has to stoop to avoid the curved ceiling.The paladin makes no reply.

OOC - do we see the expression on Sue's face? ie blank or animated? Can we determine if Sue is moving toward a feature? ie vibrating part of the fungus?

"Sue? You found something?"

Jim will finish off the last piece of mushroom he was going to eat (the fifth roll from the mushroom rolls Jim initially rolled) while attempting to keep an eye on the progress of Woody's burning ball, Sue, and the surroundings.

Sue started off ahead of Woody and Jim and didn't look backards so it may be too difficult to tell. [Success at disadvantaged Perception skill check AND an average Insight skill check is needed.]

Not from where you stand, but it does seem to be purposeful movement.

No reply; no look backwards.

Woody wants to cast mage hand and tap Sue on the shoulder. Attempting to get Sue`s attention.

"What's Sue doing? Something must be wrong with him? Jim are you going to climb up on that fungus to get Sue." "If Sue can climb on it, maybe we can climb on it and walk pasted it?"

While munching a mushroom Jim stares at Sue's back, his attempts at communication ignored.Meanwhile Woody advances the Flaming Sphere, clearing another few feet of ledge and causing more to steam and shrivel. He then casts a Mage Hand and taps Sue on the shoulder but without any obvious response or reaction.. The mage enquires, "What's Sue doing? Something must be wrong with him? Jim, are you going to climb up on that fungus to get Sue? If hecan climb on it, maybe we can climb on it and walk past it?"

Jim realises that something is wrong with Sue when the paladin walks into the scorching zone around the Flaming Sphere. Woody can just see the tips of orange-tinted fronds momentarily flick up at Paladins's chest. Jim isn't quite tall enough to see this over the five foot high barrier.

"Jim let's start moving. We need to go after Sue". Woody want to use the use his full movement to climb and go after Sue. "Jim, you are much faster then me. You need to stop Sue.Get up on that mound and go after him. I will be right behind you. Let see if we can hold him back."

Jim will follow the burnt path forward and get up onto the light gray area that Sue is on as soon as he can and rush Sue. With Woody's words in mind, and knowing Sue isn't responding to him, Jim does the only thing he can think of to stop Sue. Jim attacks Sue with mace, fist and foot hoping to knock him prone at the least and unconscious if he can.3

If Sue is drops unconscious at any point during these attacks and stays down, Jim will not continue with the attacks.

Sue’s uncannily sure footing left deep impressions in the fungus without widespread fractures despite the poison attacking his mental faculties [-1 INT] and the scorching from the Flaming Sphere. [7 fire dam]

Round 11Woody moves forwards and scrambles up onto the fungal barrier, crouching to avoid the curved ceiling. Pausing to advance the Flaming Sphere so that it won’t burn Sue, from the elevated position he sees a clump of orange-tinted fronds whipping back and forth, reaching for the motionless paladin.

Woody climbs down the couple of feet onto the biomass to make way for Jim. He belatedly notices that screeching seems to be coming from a coupler of adjacent vibrating filamental mounds.

Following Woody’s urgings, Jim effortlessly swarms up the barrier that’s nearly his own height, making best use of the flame-cleared path to close the distance and give his target, the 'frond-thing', a hammering. [Fronds: 9 crush, 14 crush, AC13 misses, AC14 misses] It is battered, many fronds snapped or broken, but is still agressively active. En route the monk’s sees the clump of aggressive orange-tinted fronds and five of the vibrating filamental mounds.

Sue, still poisoned, but no longer being scorched, stands stock still before finally shaking off the effects of the poison.
